Perhaps it is because it is a Monday. Or maybe it's because I have a massive amount of IT responsibility over the next few months. It's possibly due to the bitter cold and gale force winds. But I am really, really, hating Valentine's Day this year.

Forgive the cold cynicism, but doesn't it seem the antithesis of romance for couples throughout the Western world to have a set date to be romantic? And for them all to exchange flowers, cards and expensive, candlelit meals?
